Applications & online services

But most of the time, those “free” services are just excuses to capture as much of your personal information as possible.

A more ethical digital ecosystem

Because /e/ is about protecting your digital life privacy, we will make available (as much as possible) existing open source alternatives to those services. Advanced users will even be given the opportunity to self-host those services, if they so wish!

We will also release an alternative application repository where you can find and install most existing applications, without even having to login.

Along with the /e/ smartphone operating system, this will make a consistent, more ethical, and more respectful ecosystem.

Online services

Before the end of this year you will be able to use:

search: we won’t track you to sell you ads!

mail: a ‘state of the art’ email service, and we won’t scan your contents.

drive: a storage place where you can save your data safely.

office: a set of online office applications (including word processor, spreadsheet and presentation) that you can use for collaborative work also.

application repository: an independent alternative place where you will be able to choose from thousands of applications, including all well-known applications. But not just that! we’re putting in place an original mechanism for users to score applications: their quality, if they are open source or not, if they respect data privacy… The best apps will get an /e/ label!
